The Social World Workbook is a series of individual field
experiments that introductory level sociology students conduct throughout
the course. Each experiment gives students real world applications for some
of the major concepts presented in the introductory course. The field
experiments are divided into three major areas; Sociological Imagination
(norms and values), Deviance and Crime, and Sex Roles Socialization. Each
area of the workbook corresponds to the substantive areas of the course The
Social World (Soc 110).
